: I've got a 73 Grabber I'm starting on this summer. The only thing I don't like is the 3 speed manual tranny. 1st is way too low and the ratios are too far apart.
: I don't want to start hacking sheet metal since it's in really good shape but do want to put a different tranny in it. What would fit without irreversible modifications? Automatic with a floor shift is okay, 4 or 5 speed would be better.
: Swapping brackets or pieces is fine, just no cutting. I'd like to be able to put it back stock at some point.
... a natural for that swap is a toploader 4 speed from a '67 and up Mustang or Cougar. It's a bolt-in even with a Hurst shifter.
